From experience, the following are the TOP10 causes of Project failure that Mathew can think of (they are not in any kind of order):
#1. Lacking Sponsor's Involvement/Ownership
#2. Halo Effect (Wrong Man for the Job)
#3. Poor HR Management
#4. Poor/Inadequate Project Communications
#5. Ignoring Project Stakeholders
#6. Absence of Risk Management
#7. Scope Creep/Unrealistic Expectations
#8. Lack of Monitoring of Plan
#9. Absence of a Project Management Methodology
#10. Simply BAD LUCK :)

You may feel free to chose any of the above and/or add a cause from your own experience that you think is the most recurring reason for project failure.

Looking forward to sharing & learning.

PM4K DISCUSSION 001: TOP #1 QUALITY OF A PROJECT MANAGER

If you’ve read the posts on PM4K, you would know by now that the world expects an awful lot from a Project Manager. The worrying fact is that, organizations that do not understand and appreciate the value of the profession of Project Management, expect its Project Managers to be SUPER HEROS!!!!!!! (feel free to read the post titled "A PROJECT MANAGER IS A SUPER HERO!!!")

Agreed there are many things a Project Manager is expected to be good at, however, what is the ONE quality that should be made the 'BARE MINIMUM' eligibility requirement/quality for any Project Manager?

Mind you, this question may have no ONE correct answer. Each of us may have our own version of the correct answer based on our experience. Here at PM4K we would like to hear from you.
